The Sorceress of Belmair

Bertrice Small, . . Harlequin, $13.95 (488pp) ISBN 978-0-373-77295-7

Cinnia, daughter of the king of Belmair, is a sorceress with a problem: she wants to rule her father's kingdom as a queen in her own right. The Great Dragon, Nidhug, has other ideas, and selects Dillon, a mighty sorcerer from another world, as ruler. Tradition dictates that Cinna must marry him, which doesn't turn out too badly for her. Soon, however, Dillon must face Belmair's crisis: women have been disappearing over the years, threatening the race. The fourth book in the World of Hetar series, Small's newest novel is a sexily fantastical romp. (May)
